Manual Host Channel setup
The GUIDE Plus+ system will automatically identify your
Host Channel as soon as the recorder is put into standby
for the first time. See the table on page 60 for a list of all
the European Host Channels.
Note
1 Making changes to the Country or Postal Code settings may require a new download of TV listings information. This can take up to 24 hours.
If you know your Host Channel details (source and
program number) or if the automatic identification did
not provide the expected result, you can identify your
Host Channel manually. Select Host Channel Setup in
the Setup area and follow the instructions on the TV.
Select the correct source (e.g., internal tuner or external
receiver) and enter the respective program number (e.g.,
if you have to press 9 on the remote to watch your Host
Channel, enter 9 as the program number). When you next
switch the recorder into standby the GUIDE Plus+
system will complete the Host Channel setup.
You can reset the Host Channel settings at any time back
to the default setting of automatic. Please be aware that
resetting the Host Channel will erase all TV listings data.

FAQ
• When I tried setting up my external receiver I could not
get any of the attempts to work, what should I do?
A: There could be several reasons why your external
receiver could not be controlled.
– The connections could be wrong. Make sure that
the G-LINK cable is connected to the G-LINK
connector on the recorder and the IR blaster is in
front of the external receiver, pointing towards the IR
receiver of your external receiver. See Connecting to a
cable box or satellite receiver on page 49.
– The code that is listed under your brand could be
wrong. Please try other codes for your brand under
satellite, cable or terrestrial. Go to the Setup Area and
choose one of the three options (cable, satellite or
terrestrial) that you have not already tried. Follow the
on-screen prompts to make sure that the GUIDE
Plus+ system can change channels on your external
1
receiver. If it does not work, repeat the process,
choosing different reception and external receiver
combinations until you have tried all the codes for
your brand of receiver that are already in the GUIDE
Plus+ system. If it still does not work, see below on
how to receive new codes overnight.
– The unit has not yet received new codes. The nightly
data downloads frequently include new codes for
controlling external receivers. Please tune your
external receiver to your local host channel and leave
